The Ely Surplus Store has been a mainstay in Ely, Minnesota since its opening in 1951. Originally an army and navy surplus store, it has since changed hands to become Ely Surplus and Outdoor so we can provide our customers with all their outdoor needs. What has remained the same, however, is our dedication to selling quality products at a reasonable price.

Located in Ely, Minnesota at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, our store offers everything you need to pursue an active lifestyle.
